Hamlet shows the same emotion throughout the play only in very bad productions. In reality he shows a number of emotions: he is disgusted by his mother, excited by the appearance of the ghost, then frightened by it, then stunned by what he has heard. He is sarcastic with Polonius and angry at Ophelia. He shows regret after killing Polonius and fighting with Laertes. In the closet scene with his mother he is at once angry with her and full of love for her. In Shakespeare, no character is trapped in one emotion; they go from emotion to emotion as they go from line to line, because their emotions are a by-product of the situation of the moment. That is one reason they are so real.
